The staff does not speak English. It was really hard to get anything from them. The Beacon doesn't have anything they are listed to have. There is not even a microwave on primosises. Only thing good about the hotel was the chairs for the beach. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

The elevator sounded as though it was going to break. It was very loud. I’ve almost fell twice in the middle of the night, going to the bathroom because of the dripping air conditioning unit and had to move rooms in the middle of our stay.

The Beacon was a very convenient hotel. Everything was walkable. The room was comfortable in terms of air conditioning and mattress ok. but the room was not cleaned properly and had us feeling pretty disgusted. There was a blood smudge on tile in bathroom and nasal mucus on walls scattered throughout room. We asked to speak to management and told that manager was not available and never received a call about the complaint left at front desk. We asked to he moved to another room and We were told sorry but that was the room you chose as to say you are stuck with it. The fact that we booked a handicapped room should not make it acceptable to have substandard service such as lack of cleanliness. Needless to say we were disappointed and will not be returning to the Beacon. We frequently book through Expedia for our trips and have never had a bad experience. Hopefully this will be the last bad one.

This property is perfectly located in the heart of Ocean Drive, where you find ample dining options from the moment you step out of the door, to the beach located right in front of it. Unfortunately, our first night was awful. We were given suite 407, which not only had a clogged toilet, a clogged shower, stains on the bedsheets and walls, and to top it off, a completely broken window tile (which we had only realized the next morning when we felt a breeze as we approached the window). We had called maintenance twice to get our toilet unclogged, and while they were able to unclog the shower, the toilet still had major issues with the flushing. I spoke to front desk and was able to get a new room, which was much cleaner (although the sink was a bit clogged as well). I still don’t understand how the hotel could have assigned us a dirty and broken room.

The wifi never worked not once. The room had a view of an alley. The lights in the room flickered the entire time. The place smells, the carpet is dirty and old. The photos are extremely deceiving.
